Veles form and stats

When playing at home in the FNL, Veles have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.

The Veles supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host SKA Khabarovsk in FNL and win 1-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Spartak Moskva II.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Veles have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost zero.

SKA Khabarovsk form and stats

1-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for SKA Khabarovsk in their FNL matches away. Bitter travels for Khabarovsk as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Spartak Vladikavkaz match.

Khabarovsk play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Veles (placed 7th). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Baltika.

SKA Khabarovsk are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and four defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Khabarovsk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 6 goals from 4 games. Khabarovsk have conceded 9 goals in these games.
